In speaking with my ex-husband today and praying together over the phone for protection and a path of light and life for our children, followed by watching the video back of clips from him in the hospital and his healing there-after, I realize what a gift this season was in my life personally. For the first time in my human existence on this planet, I felt free to talk about the secrets I held within myself – secrets about miracles and God. I never told anyone what God did for me when I was 17 in taking me to the Council of Heaven and giving me life in the human body when he put my consciousness back into that corpse. It wasn’t something people would accept and I knew that. I also knew when I went to the local churches seeking “my people” that the congregations didn’t carry the spiritual beliefs and knowing that I had been gifted within me.
All things are carnal in a carnally operated and ruled world here. We want proof and we need logical explanations of all things. But I knew there was another intelligence and a greater power beyond what we see and perceive. When my ex-husband was in his healing journey we were all one accord in prayer and celebrating God’s answers and provisions. For the first time in my life I felt seen, heard and like I had a team who experienced what I did.
God knows I have a dream to be a writer/producer. I want to be a storyteller who has the reach of billions of people. But I don’t want to answer to people in this because I want it to be HIS assignment in truth and honor to who the Lord truly is. Since I’ve been here I’ve watched Tamra writing endlessly to create scripts for people to pick apart in meetings. She’s waiting on approvals, calibrators, agents and movie stars to buy-in on her ideas and ultimately that makes those people gods over what she’s been given in vision of her heart and ideas.
I don’t feel like my story is mine to give away to anyone. No matter how much money is offered or what big names might participate with me, who am I to take something God put on my heart, gave for me to witness and experience in my life and then sell it off for someone to butcher it for the sake of money? I do want to be blessed and I believe it’s God’s will to bless me abundantly. But even then I know that the blessing is his gift and his alone – not by my human powers. So, I want to make sure I know what he wants to do with it when he does move these mountains.
If he wants me to bless my ex-husband I hope to know the exact amount he should be given and if he wants to bless a stranger on the road I want my heart to hear the voice of the Lord and answer the call. I want that kind of connection with God again – now and forever guided by the Holy Spirit and unspotted by this world.
I know our son misses his family and my daughter too. In truth I miss us all too. In a time and space in time we are always family and always will be. Regardless of space or distance and even divorce there is nothing that can destroy what was ruled and reigned by the miracle of God’s love. And even as I type this, as I know my lips may never speak it out-loud, my heart hopes that J-Senior always knows how special his placement in my life was and will be forever more. He was my best friend and he was my rock in times of trouble. He may not have the solutions or be able to protect and provide for our children but he’s God’s son, the father of my children and he was the love of my life for many decades. I don’t hate him. I wish the best of God’s gifts, healing a testimony of all he has overcome by the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.
I feel like social media and AI is a type of alien invasion on this planet that kills, steals and destroys the love of families – hitting us each differently. It teaches children to believe Google instead of the loving hearts of their parents advice. It teaches parents to seek therapy to know how to raise their own children from sources that could never begin to know the love that counsels a mother’s heart. It teaches husband’s and wives that the grass is greener on the other side and floods our eyes with pornography and temptation. I know I ate from that tree – thinking my prince in shining armor was a man I met off myspace who swooped in to save the day and heal my heart; leaving me more broken and confused than ever before. I suppose all of us are appointed seasons of temptation and testing and maybe we’re all even meant to fail so that we can open our hearts and sew many prayers in the form of tears asking God to put us back on the path of Glory.
My face feels red hot with fire today and I wonder if this is the fire of the Holy Spirit coming back into me today – as Moses saw the face of God in a burning bush and I felt frequently when I wrote the book about My Father’s answer to my prayers. I say Yes to speak the truth of what I hear, see and witness in the days to come.
My son is alive. For the first time today I learned that on May 2nd, he put a gun to his head and his father tackled him to save him and get the weapon from his hands. He said he cried all night praying out to God to save our boy. He begged the Lord to move fast and mightily and cried out that he would do anything to not have to bury his baby boy. A few hours later, my son woke him up with a car packed full of the things he could gather and he was on a cross-country drive to California.
It hasn’t been easy on me since he got here. He’s spewed a lot of venom from his lips of hatred towards me and the stench of death attacks his words frequently. But he’s alive and I know inside he’s battling those demons with a heart full of gold and love buried deeply within. I’m grateful he didn’t have to taste death to find God’s weapons war’ing in his favor. I’m grateful he’s not telling a suicide story from a hospital room and that I never got that call his father feared was on the brink of manifestation. I’m grateful God is still today, yesterday and tomorrow – until forevermore answering our prayers and hearing the cries of his children. I’m grateful that through it all I’m still praying. All of this horrible loneliness, darkness and despair couldn’t kill the seed of faith God planted in me. Even when I don’t hear him. Even when I seek him with my whole heart and can’t feel him near me. Even when I pray until my hand can barely write another word, HE still stirs me to speak to him, keep asking, keep walking in faith and believing that every prayer my heart has sent to Heaven is heard, cared for and being answered in ways I can’t even imagine possible.
The same God that planted me in the stomach in a teenage girl through tragedy and caused me to be born to overcome 2 deathly illnesses – introducing me to this world as a survivor, is still on the throne. The same God who heard my heart cry out in death at 17, when I didn’t even have the strength to lift my head or cry out for help – who heard me, lifted me out of the body and into the Heavens and gave me hope and a future then resurrected me into that dead body and brought me back to life again is still on the throne. The same God who rescued me when I was paralyzed after a horse accident and told I may never walk again – that GOD who gave me the strength to get up and walk again is still on the throne. The same God who saw me weak, drugged and poisoned in a barn of a Colorado backside to a horse track and divinely removed me and guided me by angels all the way back to Houston is still on the throne. That same God who saved J-Senior, healed him and gave him life and then healed our son of GHD as we praised him and celebrated his miracles is still on the throne. That God is driving my son from Dana Point to me tonight and flying him home to his Dad to tomorrow – He’s still on the throne.
I’m not proud of us. I’m not proud of the fact that it took us almost losing my son to pick up the phone and have a civil conversation. I’m not proud that we allowed our pride and egos to destroy the love we had for these kids in showing them how much they mean to us. I’m not proud that my own hurt and pain led me into the arms of a man who just wanted to use me for sex rather than attending to the children that needed me in their times of need. I’m not proud that I put all of my focus on healing myself for the sake of finding love again in a man when my greatest love I’ve ever known on this planet lies within the connection I have to my children. I’m not proud that I’ve leaned on my kids as my strength and worked dead-end jobs, unable to pick myself up and find a reason to see a future that offers anything good and I’m not proud of selfishness I allowed to overcome me.
I don’t want to be a flight attendant. I don’t want to be anything other than God’s story-teller. But all this time I’ve been trying to find good stories to tell the good news, he’s been trying to write his story upon my heart. This is where redemption begins. Forgiveness. Hope. Faith. And above all – love.
There’s a song that Hillsong United performs called NEW WINE. The lyrics speak of laying down your life and your own hopes and dreams to be what God wants you to be – the thing he designed each of us to do. To find his will is to find true life and I’m reminded of that right now. I want to walk in God’s will. I want to walk in God’s life for me and his light that leads me to that path. I hope I see it now and never lose sight of again. I hope love is restored tonight and my son receives healing where he needs it the most – in his heart.. and in his soul. And I have this feeling that as God restores all that was broken and lost in him, that there will be a restoration in us all. We’re all connected after all, by the same thing… God’s love.
Imagine it…
I’m on the beach holding my daughter’s hands as we close our eyes and join our hearts to pray…
“God, your word says where two or more are gathered in your name you are in the midst of us…” and we prayed for Josh. And on this same night, he puts a gun to his head and his father lays in bed all night in a puddle of tears praying out to God to heal and help his son Josh. How did we all get aligned on the same day – May 2, 2025? How did we all feel the stirring to join our hearts in love for this boy on the same night? How did he wake up the next morning with an undying desire to get in his car and drive 24 hours to get to me in California? How did Glenn have it arranged in his thoughts to call me and invite me to surf and then flip the script and invite Josh to sleep on his couch when he arrived?
God truly does go before us and make a way. He truly does answer our prayers and make a way where there was no way. God truly does author our stories in the very moments when we feel that all hope is lost – in that moment of powerlessness and surrender he moves and he moves mightily.
I asked God in meditation a few days ago what he wanted me to do – for him. He showed me three visions. The first formed as it looked like vegetables and salads with greens on top. I thought it meant to eat healthy and clean. The second vision I saw a plane flying. The third I saw a notebook page. He knows that I feel unsettled and underutilized in flying on these trips and he knows that I’m struggling to know what my diet should consist of and he knows I write letters every day. He also knows that I built a prayer sandbox on the day that we asked for healing over my son. So, I will do what he shows me even though it doesn’t make sense to me now.
I want a home for me and my son and a promised land as I’ve been shown is in my future. I want my dog back to live with me and my kids here and healed. And if it’s God’s will I hope their father will have a beautiful home too – here if that’s what he chooses.
In the meantime, I will do my best to be obedient to what God has shown me. I will keep flying and keep writing and trying to stay in good health away from meats and processed foods. I will do my best to cherish each day he gifts me on this earth and glory in the small moment where I feel love and I feel loved – even if that’s been a daily battle for years I believe he’s restoring my heart and I’m so thankful he knows best what I need now.
